Priceline Hotel: 3.5 Star Disney Area Lake Buena Vista Orlando

Priceline Hotels Florida

Announcements

Our newest development, RateDrop.com will monitor hotel prices for your specific dates and notify you if the Rate Drops!
Monitor hotel prices from both PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE, as well as 'regular' retail hotel rates, based upon the specific criteria you choose.
While the benefits of tracking rates from Priceline and Hotwire are obvious, another use is to purchase a refundable hotel rate using RefundableRates.com and then also set an alert for that specific hotel using RateDrop... if the price drops, simply cancel and re-book at the new lower rate.
Uses your existing BetterBidding.com account so no additional sign-up is needed.
Get started tracking hotel rates now at RateDrop.com

If you recall, can you please start by concluding your previous Las Vegas Hotwire hotel thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip. Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.

(if you don't recall what you did for that trip please add a reply "i don't remember" to that thread so we can at least official mark it as closed)

For the hotel offer above i'm seeing this (amenities taken from the 'Priceline Express' tab of our BiddingHelper.com tool):

Do either of these work for your plans this trip? If not, what is it that you are looking for and what is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes)?

Thank you for the reply. I went back and concluded my Vegas trip from 2014. Sorry about that.

For this trip, I did notice the 4* for $77/night and concluded that it would be the Delta. I called the hotel and they charge $15 per day for parking. With us staying 4 nights with a rental car, I'd rather get a hotel with free parking.

We will be going to Disney for one day, and would like a hotel with a free shuttle so I do not have to pay to park at Disney (we are ok with staying further away from Disney since we will have a car). I also do not want a hotel with a resort fee.

If I find a good enough deal on a nice hotel, I am fine with paying to park at Disney since we only have to pay to park there one time. Not having a Disney shuttle would not be a deal breaker.

Budget is less than $90 a night, obviously the cheaper the better. We would also like restaurants nearby.

I realize this is a bit of a shopping list of things we want, but any help would be appreciated. We will have a less than one year old baby with us as well.

==> best guess would be the Grande Villas Resort by Diamond Resorts which does get good reviews. There is a resort fee (~$12/day) but even with the resort fee it brings you to just about the same price as the Radisson offer above

Keep in mind that PRICELINE EXPRESS / HOTWIRE offers can go quickly, so if you find something that you like but wait in hopes of something better, the current offer could disappear at any time.

Let us know what you ultimately decide and how it goes or how we can be of further help.

I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature).

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 3.5 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates:

==> Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort is my best guess for this one

I ended up booking a Springhill Suites by Marriott right through the Marriott website. With so many hotels that have expensive resort fees and not know which hotel I might end up with, I opted to not use the Express deal this time around. What might seem like a good price for a hotel can quickly change once I get stuck with a $30 resort fee/night and $15/ night parking.

I appreciate your help again. I'll reach out next time I'm going somewhere.

P.S. I did use the bidding helper tool quite a bit and that is a great tool! Nice job to the developers who came up with that!
